Explore Generators by Type

Petrol Generators

The most versatile option. Petrol generators are easy to fuel, available in a wide range of outputs, and suited to everything from camping to job sites. For cleaner, quieter power that's safe for electronics, petrol inverter generators are the go.

Diesel Generators

Better fuel economy and built to run for hours at a stretch. Diesel generators are the standard choice for remote properties, farms and heavy-duty site work. See also diesel inverter generators and silent diesel generators for quieter operation.

Inverter Generators

Clean sine wave power that's safe for laptops, TVs and sensitive electronics, with lower fuel use at part load. Inverter generators are the pick for camping, caravanning and anywhere quiet matters.

Silent and Portable Generators

Silent generators run quieter than open-frame units and are a good pick for campgrounds and residential areas. Heading bush? Camping generators, caravan generators and portable generators keep the setup light and easy to move.

Which Generator Do You Need?

Generators for the Job Site

Running angle grinders, drop saws, compressors and site lighting takes real grunt. For most trade work, a 5-8kVA open-frame petrol unit covers it. See large generators for heavier loads, and check the Gentech and Westinghouse ranges for site-ready options.

Generators for Home Backup

Keep the fridge, lights, modem and essentials going when the grid drops. Our home backup generators range from portable units for the basics through to larger options that handle serious load. Diesel generators for home are popular for longer outages.

Generators for Camping and Caravanning

Keep the fridge cold and the aircon running without disturbing the next campsite. Camping generators and caravan generators are compact, quiet and designed for the road. Inverter models are the standard choice.

Shop by Output

Add up the wattage of everything you plan to run at once, then add 20% headroom. Browse by output: 2kW, 3kW, 4kVA, 10kW. Need less fuel and noise? See our portable power stations.

Generators Australia FAQs

What brands of generators does True Gear stock?

True Gear stocks generators from Gentech, Welling & Crossley, Westinghouse, Champion, Hyundai, Briggs & Stratton, and Macfarlane. Most are petrol-powered, with options ranging from compact inverter units through to heavy-duty open-frame models up to 20kVA.

What size generator do I need for camping or the job site?

For camping and running a fridge, lights, and phone chargers, a 2-3kVA inverter generator is usually plenty. For the job site - angle grinders, power tools, and site lighting - you're looking at 5-8kVA. If you're running welders or large compressors, step up to 8kVA or more. A good rule of thumb: add up the wattage of everything you want to run at once, then add 20% headroom.

What's the difference between an inverter generator and a standard open-frame generator?

An inverter generator produces clean, stable power (safe for laptops and sensitive electronics), runs quieter, and uses less fuel at low loads. An open-frame generator is louder and produces raw AC power, but it's tougher, cheaper for the same wattage, and better suited to high-demand tools on a work site. For camping and caravanning, go inverter. For the job site where noise isn't a concern, open-frame gets the job done.

How much does a generator cost in Australia?

Prices vary a lot depending on size and type. Compact inverter generators start around $800-1,200. Mid-range 5-8kVA site generators run $2,000-3,500. Heavy-duty units above 10kVA can push $5,000-9,000+. True Gear stocks options across that full range, and most are in stock for fast dispatch.

Do generators come with a warranty in Australia?

Yes - all generators sold through True Gear come with Australian warranty support. Warranty periods vary by brand and model, typically 12-24 months for personal use. Honda-powered units like the Gentech range often carry separate engine warranties. Check the individual product listing for specific warranty terms, or contact True Gear if you need clarification before buying.
